It is to be noted that the following descriptions of some embodiments are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

The present disclosure provides, inter alia, an image processing method, an image processing apparatus, a virtual reality display apparatus, and a computer-program product that substantially obviate one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides an image processing method. In some embodiments, the image processing method includes determining a first mapping relationship between rust coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image; and applying an anti-distortion process to the Multi-Resolution-Shading image based on the first mapping relationship, thereby obtaining an anti-distortion image.

FIG. 1 is a flow chat illustrating an image processing method in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, the process of image processing in a virtual reality system includes identifying the hardware using a computer terminal (e.g., a processor), uploading the data of gyroscope, calculating user's current posture, applying a Multi-Resolution-Shading process to an original image based on coordinates of a gaze position, thereby obtaining a Multi-Resolution-Shading image. In one example, the target monocular resolution is 4K*4K, a Multi-Resolution-Shading process is applied to an original image, thereby obtaining a Multi-Resolution-Shading image. The monocular resolution of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image is 2K*2K. A flattening process is then applied to the Multi-Resolution-Shading image, thereby obtaining a flattened image. The monocular resolution of the flattened image is 4K*4K. An anti-distortion process is then applied to the flattened image, thereby obtaining an anti-distortion image which will be sent to the display apparatus. According to the above process, as the resolution of the image displayed by the display apparatus becomes higher, the amount of data sent from the computer terminal to the display apparatus becomes larger.

FIG. 2 is a flow chat illustrating an image processing method based on virtual reality in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the image processing method includes determining a first mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image. In some embodiments, determining the first mapping relationship includes determining a second mapping relationship between third coordinates in a third coordinate system of an original image and fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a screen image; determining a third mapping relationship between the third coordinates of the third coordinate system of the original image and the first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image; and determining a fourth mapping relationship between the first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image and the fourth coordinates of the fourth coordinate system of the screen image based on the second mapping relationship and the third mapping relationship. Optionally, the method further includes applying a Multi-Resolution-Shading Process to the fourth coordinates in the fourth coordinate system of the screen image based on the third mapping relationship, thereby obtaining the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image; determining the first mapping relationship using based on the fourth mapping relationship and the second coordinates of the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image.

Referring to FIG. 3, the third coordinates in the third coordinate system of the original image is corresponding to the fourth coordinates in the fourth coordinate system of the screen image. The lower left corners of both the third coordinate system of the original image and the fourth coordinate system of the screen image are defined as (0, 0). The coordinates in both the third coordinate system of the original image and the fourth coordinate system of the screen image are normalized coordinates (e.g. if the coordinate of a point of the fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a screen image exceeds 1, a respective point in the original image will not be shown on the display panel.) Using bilinear interpolation, each pixel of the screen image is corresponding to a respective pixel of the original image. When an anti-distortion process is applied, each pixel of the screen image shows a greyscale respectively corresponding to the greyscale of the pixel of the original image, thereby performing the anti-distortion proms.

Referring to FIG. 5, the black lines in FIG. 5 are lines separating multiple regions in Multi-Resolution-Shading image. In some embodiments, the gaze position is in the center of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image. Optionally, the Multi-Resolution-Shading image can be separated into 9 regions (3×3, or any other appropriate formats. In some embodiment, the Multi-Resolution-Shading image is separated into a high-resolution region and a plurality of low-resolution regions. The high-resolution region of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image is the central region. The plurality of low-resolution regions of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image are the peripheral regions. In some embodiments, the gaze position is in the center of the high-resolution region of the original image, therefore, the high-resolution region of the original image is determined based the gaze position. Optionally, the high-resolution region of the original image is a square region. Optionally, based on the four vertices of the high-resolution region of the original image, the other eight low-resolution regions of the original image are determined respectively a top region, a bottom region, a left region, a right region, a top left region, a bottom left region, a top right region, and a bottom right region, respectively with respect to the high-resolution region of the original image.

Based on the principle of Multi-Resolution-Shading process on the Geometric shape of the original image, the correspondence relationship between p′(x′, y′) of the first coordinates in the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image and the p(x, y) of the third coordinates in the third coordinate system of the original image is obtained. The third mapping relationship between the first coordinates in the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image and the third coordinates in the third coordinate system of the original image is obtained.

In some embodiments, the third mapping relationship can be expressed according to Equation (1):

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ {\begin{matrix} {x^{\prime} = \frac{{x*{Width}} + {TopLeftX}}{W_{mrs}}} \\ {y^{\prime} = \frac{{y*{Height}} + {{TopLeft}\; Y}}{H_{mrs}}} \end{matrix},} \right. & (1) \end{matrix}$ Wherein, x is a horizontal coordinate value of a pixel in third coordinates of the third coordinate system of the original image, y is a vertical coordinate value of a pixel in the third coordinates of the third coordinate system of the original image, x′ is a horizontal coordinate value of a pixel in first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image, y′ is a vertical coordinate value of a pixel in the first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image, Width and Height represent a size of a region of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image having the pixel (which represented by resolution), W_(mrs) and H_(mrs) represent a resolution of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image, TopLeftX and TopLeftY are respectively a horizontal coordinate value and a vertical coordinate value of a vertices of a top left corner of the region of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image having the pixel.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a coordinate of Multi-Resolution-Shading image in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. The first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image is defined as the coordinate system shown in FIG. 6.

FIG. 7 illustrates a fourth mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and Fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a screen image in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 7, based on the second mapping relationship and the third mapping relationship, the fourth mapping relationship between the first coordinates in the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image and the fourth coordinates in the fourth coordinate system of the screen image is obtained.

FIG. 8 illustrates an anti-distortion process based on the fourth mapping relationship in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 8, under the fourth mapping relationship, if the Multi-Resolution-Shading image (left figure in FIG. 8) is inputted, an anti-distortion image (right figure in FIG. 8) will be outputted, i.e. the screen image is outputted.

In some embodiments, the Multi-Resolution-Shading Process (according to the third mapping relationship) is applied to the fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a plurality of regions of the screen image including the high-resolution region of the screen image and the plurality of low-resolution regions of the screen image based on the third mapping relationship, thereby obtaining the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image. The Multi-Resolution-Shading image is defined under a coordinate system of image, the anti-distortion image is defined under a coordinate system of screen image. Thus, the center of the high-resolution region of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image is a point on an image plane (a point in the coordinate system of image), but the respective center of the screen image is on an object plane (a point in the coordinate system of screen image). In order to perform Multi-Resolution-Shading process on the screen image (an anti-distortion image), it is necessary to calculate the gaze position in the screen image. For example, it is necessary to determine a position in the object plan corresponding to the central point of the high-resolution region (the gaze point) on the image plane. Thus, the gaze position in the screen image can be derive from the gaze position (the central point of the high-resolution region) in the Multi-Resolution-Shading image.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating bilinear interpolation in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 9, the gaze position in the screen image is determined using Equation (2):

$\begin{matrix} \left\{ {\begin{matrix} {o = {{s\left( {{o\; 2} - {o\; 1}} \right)} + {t\left( {{o\; 3} - {o\; 1}} \right)}}} \\ {o^{\prime} = {{s\left( {{o\; 2^{\prime}} - {o\; 1^{\prime}}} \right)} + {t\left( {{o\; 3^{\prime}} - {o\; 1^{\prime}}} \right)}}} \end{matrix};} \right. & (2) \end{matrix}$

wherein o is a gaze point of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image, o1

o2′

o3′ are respective three vertices of a triangular region of the screen image where o′ locates, s and t are variable parameters.

After calculating the first coordinate of the respective center of high-resolution region of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image corresponding to the fourth coordinate of the center of the high-resolution region of the screen image, the Multi-Resolution-Shading process is applied to the fourth coordinates in the fourth coordinate system of the screen image (i.e. the Multi-Resolution-Shading process is performed using Equation (1)), and the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image is obtained.

Therefore, the first mapping relationship is obtained by using the fourth mapping relationship and the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image

FIG. 10 is a flow chat illustrating a first mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image in some embodiments according to the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, during the image flattening process, each line of the pixels in the anti-distortion image is flattened into N lines, which are subsequently displayed. By having this design, the amount of computation required for the display apparatus can be lowered, reducing power consummation of the display apparatus.

In the present image processing method, a first mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image is determined; an anti-distortion process to the Multi-Resolution-Shading image based on the first mapping relationship is applied to obtain an anti-distortion image. The anti-distortion image is sent to a display apparatus. The display apparatus applies an image flattening process to the anti-distortion image to obtain a flattened anti-distortion image; and displays the flattened anti-distortion image. In the present disclosure, the computer terminal (e.g., a processor) only applies anti-distortion process on the Multi-Resolution-Shading image without applying any flattening process. The flattening process is only applied by the display apparatus. By having this design, at least one step of rendering performed by the computer terminal can be reduced. The present method can reduce the time lag in the image processing, and reduce the amount of data transmitted from the computer terminal to display apparatus.
